What does EDF have to do with Smart Homes?

EDF has partnered with a lot of Smart Home companies, some of which being Amazon, Philips Hue, TP-Link and Netatmo. After speaking with a sales representative of EDF, they confirmed that there is a 20% off deal for all EDF customers who wish to purchase from the EDF Smart Home Store.

It was noted that there were plans to have this open to non-EDF customers, although I could get much more information out of them:

As of now, there is no communique of an imminent change in the near horizon. If there is any change, we will roll out a communique at least a couple of months back. It is currently for the existing EDF energy account holders and we are shortly aiming to roll them out for no-existing EDF customers as well so that this facility can be an universal reason for customers to relish.

EDF Energy Smart Meter

The EDF Smart Meter is no different from any other Smart Meter in all honesty, I could find anything that really made it special. Personally, I recommend the geo Minim Energy Monitor which my family coaxed me into buying.

It provides much more detail than the Smart Meter that EDF Provided me (A few years old, so I can’t comment on newer models if they offer them).

Eligible for Amazon Echowith EDF

There’s a lot of hidden goodies that they hide from their customers it seems, even if it’s not entirely on purpose they aren’t very vocal about it.

For example, if you want an Amazon Echo, sign up to their Connect+Control2 tariff and you should receive it within 30 days.

Amazon also offers an Amazon Skill for checking out your bill and other information for your account.

As far as I can tell there’s a 50/50 on 5* and 1* reviews, it works well for some and works to the point where it’s not even usable for others. I’ll let you be the judge of that though.

Conclusion

I’m not going to tell you to move to EDF, because they’re quite expensive in my opinion and I’m much happier with Bulb who are 100% green energy providers and offer rewards to users who bring their friends over.

HOWEVER, If you’re with them already and looking to stick with them, it may be worth comparing the Smart Home good prices in general with Amazon to see what is cheaper. As of this moment, Amazon is offering the Echo Dot for £34.99 + Free shipping whereas EDF is offering it for £49.99 and with the discount code “ThankYou20” it’s still £40 without free shipping.
